This study isolates oil-degrading bacteria from contaminated soil in automobile workshops, aiming to address environmental pollution from petroleum spills. Nineteen bacterial isolates were screened, with three isolates S4 (), M8 (), and M9 (), showing significant oil degradation potency. In shake flask assays, S4 degraded 57.

- - The study explores the development of hydrogels for controlled oral delivery of esomeprazole, using polymers like calcium alginate and HPMC, and confirming compatibility through Fourier transform infrared analysis.
- - Hydrogels demonstrated an esomeprazole encapsulation efficiency of 83.1% and controlled drug release over 24 hours, with a unique swelling behavior that indicates their potential for drug delivery solutions.
- - In vivo testing on rabbits showed that these hydrogels provide a sustained and prolonged release of esomeprazole compared to traditional drug solutions, with stability studies indicating consistent physical properties over time.
Oxidative stress (OS) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) are both key indicators implicated in neuro-inflammatory signalling pathways and their respective neurodegenerative diseases. Drugs targeting these factors can be considered as suitable candidates for treatment of neuronal dysfunction and memory impairment. The present study encompasses beneficial effects of a naturally occurring triterpenoid, friedelin, against scopolamine-induced oxidative stress and neurodegenerative pathologies in mice models.
